Nebraska ranked last for women entrepreneurs

Issues

This analysis ranks Nebraska dead last ranks Nebraska dead last in the list of best states for women entrepreneurs. I'm proud to be part of a movement that is doing something about that. 

As an entrepreneur, I have worked hard for over a decade to bring millions in revenue into Nebraska. And now I'm running for the state senate to work even harder to make that dream possible for other women like me who are ready to be leaders in our economy. 

I’m running to make Nebraska a state where women are excited to live and grow. A state where we support working parents, where we give women control over when they start their families, where we support workers with fair pay and family leave policies. 

Even as I campaign, I will continue to organize people in support of statewide policies that support women and families. That is just who I am, who I have always been, and I will never sit down when women need someone to stand up.

With that said, read this piece in Silicon Prairie News about Project 18, a diverse collective that came together with goal of establishing Omaha as the most women-friendly tech community in the country. 

Project 18 was organized by my friend Rebecca Stavick, the Executive Director at Do Space, who, after learning that Omaha was ranked as the 18th best city in the U.S. for women in tech, gathered a group dedicated to doing something about it.

We know that when more women in Nebraska are empowered and supported to improve their quality of life—from their families, to their education, to their careers—the easier it is for all of us to live the good life here in the cornhusker state.
